Bob Hartley’s post-game press conference was pretty interesting tonight.

Not in the sense that he broke any news – Jiri Hudler’s just fine, by the way – but he had a really interesting series of exchanges with Sportsnet’s Roger Millions regarding the team’s goaltending situation.

Quotes after the jump.

(Millions’ questions are bolded. Hartley’s answers in italics.)

[A few other media members asked questions.]

(Hartley smiles) I don’t know. We didn’t talk to no one yet. I would like to make sure I sit with those guys rather than they learn it by watching the news.

[A few other media members asked questions.]

And so the press conference ended, without much being resolved.

A decision has been made. They haven’t spoken to their goalies about the decision yet. That would lead one to believe that they’re carrying two goalies – because why would you talk to somebody if all three guys are staying, although you would probably want to explain to them why all three guys were staying if that were the case, too.

For the curious, the final pre-season stats. Hiller has the best stats but had the most home games with NHL defensive groups. Ortio had two road games with AHL defensive groups. Ramo had a mix of both.
